These are pretty good:
Enigmatica 2 Expert Unofficial for 1.12.2
Ragnamod 7 for 1.18.2
Divine journey 2 for 1.12.2

Ragnamod VII for 1.18.2
Enigmatica 2 Expert Unofficial for 1.12.2
Divine journey 2 for 1.12.2
All of them are tech+magic and have long progression

Forge/NeoForge have mod menu by default

i hope to see a stone block with a number 4 written on it

in ProjectE configs you can set covalenceLoss from 0% to 90%
at a 50% covalence loss burning diamond only gives 4096 EMC, but it still cost 8192 EMC

I've spent around 500 hours in total in modded minecraft, so i would say like 4

Enigmatica 2 Expert Unofficial for 1.12.2, Chroma Technology 2 for 1.16.5
Both are focused on tech mods but have a decent number of magic mods

That is genuinely worst desing choice ive ever seen in a modpack, why would you establish a pattern of farming non-EMC blocks with WoA to then take it away and say "that giant craft you just did didnt matter, you need to make 7 more"
